Making a Ginger Cake

I decided that a good way to deal with my guilt and worry about my mums illness was to try and step into her cake making shoes. This is my first effort in a long while in making a Ginger Cake. Its not her recipe as thats mostly in her head and due to the onset of dementia a bit dodgy.

Ok so here we have the assembled ingredients :

Oops not forgetting the butter

All the wet ingredients and sugar weighed out in a saucepan

Then the sifted Flour and spices including Ginger Powder made a well in the centre

Got an egg then beat it

Gently melted the butter and sticky stuff over a low heat

At the same time adding the beaten egg and cold milk to the sifted flour

Stirred the gloopy sugary treacly mix into this to produce a lovely smelling gloop.

Watched it baking and wished my Oven door was cleaner

Result a bit miffed it has sunk a bit in the middle but recipe says leave overnight before you eat!

Can we wait that long!!
